Pioneer Mus eum
receives grants Social Services Committee busy
This spring When visitors tour
the Huron Pioneer Museum for
the first time in the 1972 season
they will notice a great many
changes. Through the Property,
Planning and Development
Committees of Huron County
Council, as well as two grants
from the Provincial
Government's Incentive
Program, a number of neglected
areas at the museum are being
repaired, updated and expanded.
The first program undertaken
deals with the physical makeup of
the facilities themselves. A grant
totaling $10,050, which provides
for the employment of 5 men for a
total of 525 man days, (or 105
working days) will deal with,
building such needed items as new
show cases for various exhibits,
painting both the rooms inside the
museum and some areas outside
.if weather permits later this
spring, general repair and upkeep
around the museum and the
moving of exhibits.
•Works grants not only furnish
the funds necessary to pay two
workmen on such jobs but also a
percentage of the total project
funds to go into the purchase of
materials needed for the work.
Program number two,
presently underway at the
museum, deals with the re-
cataloguing of all items on
exhibit, a massive undertaking
when it is considered that there
are well in excess of 11,000
exhibits on display. At the same
time the items will be revalued
and further research undertaken
with a view to rewriting the
museum booklet. The informative
book on the exhibits was last done
in 1967 and since that time has
just been added to. As a result
there are many new items to he
included and the reorganization of
displays will affect it somewhat
as well.
This program was granted

The first meeting of Clinton
District.IV 4-H girls' sleepwear
club was -held at Mrs. Isobel
Gibson on Feb. 9
Betty Veenstra was elected
president; Nancy Gibbings, vice
president; Brenda Gibbings,
press secretary, and Jean
Falconer, Joanne Gibson, and
Darlene Carnohan as phone girls.
A short discussion on our
record books and choosing our
pattern and material, For
demonstrations they
demonstrated how to straighten
material and how to shrink
material before using.
MEETING TWO
The second meeting started
with the 4-H pledge. The roll call
came next, The club name is "The
Government and employs, at the
moment, twopersonS. It is hoped
a third worker will be added to the
staff soon to help complete the
work.
This busy winter at the Huron
County Museum is under the
direction of Raymond Scotchmer
and Mrs. Friedel Nanz, who are in
turn responsible to the committee
of Huron County Council
mentioned earlier who planned
the work now in progress.
Mr. Scotchmer notes that when
the museum was originally set up
the founders could hardly see into
the future and even guess at how it
would grow. As a result the 1972
reorganization has been
necessitated to better centralize
exhibits related to each other,
The new show cases for example
will help to show off the exhibits
much better and will also provide
more room in the already
crowded facilities.
By the end of May this year the
programs presently underway
will be wound up. The organizers
stress that work will be far from
completed but a good start will be
made. It is estimated that to
complete the necessary
cataloguing and research it might
take four to five years.
The museum will be open
during Young Canada Week this
year for the first time in 19'72 and
hopes to open officially in the
summer to another boom year. In
1971 between 23 and 24,000
persons toured the exhibits, 1970
was the record year with 25,000
persons visiting the facilities.

A number of Huron County
groups are making use of the
incentive grants provided for by
the Federal and Provincial
Governments this winter and
among them is the Social Services
Co-ordinating Committee of
Huron County. Financed by grants
from the Local Initiatives
Program and the Manpower
Programs, they are conducting a
survey of social services in the
county.
The survey, of the overall
health and social service needs of
the county is being conducted by
personal interviews with local
officials (elected and appointed)
professional and semi-
professional people, community
leaders and those who now use the
existing services.
It is hoped that on the basis of
this survey the use of present
services and the need for
additional facilities can be
determined.
Before the survey winds up in
May, it is planned that 1000 people
will be interviewed. In the first
three weeks of work those taking
the survey have already talked to
250 persons.
Three interviewers are at work
in the county. Susan Bell is
responsible for the areap of Hay,
Stephen, Usborne, Tucker'smith,
McKillop and Grey townships as
well as the communities of
Brussels, Seaforth, Hensall,
Exeter, Zurich and Dashwood.
In the central portion of the
county, Art Maybury will
interview officials in Colborne,
Goderich, Stanley and Hullet
townships and the communities of
Goderich, Clinton, Hayfield and
other villages in that area.
Mrs. Kathlene MacDonald is in
charge of northern Huron County
the 1972 issue of the Huron County
Soil and Crop. Newspaper.
The Ontario Department of
Agriculture hopes that as many
young boys and girls between the
ages of 11 and 20 as possible will
take part in the 4-H program. Such
County events as 4-H picnics, bus
tours, field days, and Judging
Competition, should make this
year's 4-II program an
interesting one.
and the townships of Ashfield,
West and East Wawanosh,
Morris, Turnberry and Howick,
as well as the urban areas of
Wingham and Blyth.
The committee explains the
survey may well serve to better
study the direction of services in
the district and to make people
more conscious of the fact that
social services are now operated
on a county basis.
The survey, as it is presented,
deals in a number of various
areas. These include social
services, teenagers, senior
citizens, welfare, health
services, psychiatric services,
housing, recreation and crime.
Under each of these subjects,
those interviewed are asked for
their opinions on the various
subjects as to how they are
administered under present
social service programs.
Suggested changes and possible
new programs are also asked for.
The social services committee
is under the direction of Isabel
MacDonald and consists of John
Fleming a consultant from the
Services, Chris Rompf-
statistical clerk, Rev. G.G.
Russell-chairman of the survey
committee and Basil Hall-
chairman of the co-ordinating
committee.
Since the surveyors are
speaking with selected
individuals, the organizers point
out they would be glad to hear
from anyone with comments to
make on the social services set
up. They would especially like to
talk with persons making use of '
such services in any way about
suggestions for improvements.
The number to call is 524-7733
ttween 9:00 a,m. and 5:00 p,m,
onday through Friday.
